$COIN down $5 after hours on a headline miss but there are a number of silver linings imo. Expenses were still sticky in a down BTC quarter, but marketing is an easy lever to pull if needed. They gained spot share by my count, & derivatives momentum is real (though boosted by trading giveaways, which show up in costs).

Press is focused on the transaction revenue decline, but that was intentional: COIN tightened spreads to attract market makers and flow. And of course BTC and especially alts were down in the quarter. Now, with BTC back over $103K and COIN now long even more BTC (bought ~$150M) in the quarter, that bet is likely starting to pay off. Also, new all-time high in Coinbase One subs is Cool to see.
